oprah
Just learned that Oprah is going off the air at some point. Can’t really say much about it since I’ve never seen it.
Everything Begins Somewhere
Windows 7, ITunes and Audible
I almost always learn the hard way so I’ll share it here. If you use audible.com and have it integrated with itunes and you do a clean install of Windows 7 you can run into a problem. Audible allows you to download with 3 computers. You can “deauthorize” a computer from that computer through itunes. If you do the clean install of W7 audible will see it as an additional computer and if you are at the limit of 3 you can’t download from audible and you can’t “deauthorize.” You are stuck. You have to contact audible and have them do a reset. Better practice is to “deauthorize” the computer before the clean install of W7.
This is freaking awesome.
This is what The Mighty Delaware should be.
Having recently read the tremendous biography of Alexander Hamilton, the rap pretty much has the early part of his life correct. Very cool.
Update on the Life of an Irrational Fan
My 50 year obsession as a fan of the Buffalo Bills continues to spin out of control. In the last two games the Bills were outscored 42 to 0. No, this is not a typo. 42 to 0.
Here is an example of class. It is the epitomy of the classic sportsman being gracious in victory. Or maybe he is just another crass, vulgar moron who should be cleaning urinals at a truck stop. He is the owner of the Titans.
Advanced NFL Stats: Why Bill Belichick's 4th and 2 decision wasn't THAT bad
pile:
With 2:00 left and the Colts with only one timeout, a successful conversion wins the game for all practical purposes. A 4th and 2 conversion would be successful 60% of the time. Historically, in a situation with 2:00 left and needing a TD to either win or tie, teams get the TD 53% of the time from that field position. The total WP for the 4th down conversion attempt would therefore be:
(0.60 * 1) + (0.40 * (1-0.53)) = 0.79 WP
A punt from the 28 typically nets 38 yards, starting the Colts at their own 34. Teams historically get the TD 30% of the time in that situation. So the punt gives the Pats about a 0.70 WP.More here.
Makes me feel a bit better.
If Pats had a time out left, call would have been better because he could have challenged the spot. Also, if the normally reliable Faulk hadn’t bobbled it ever so slightly, they had the first down. Welcome to my world of painful losses.
Very large
Titan fan.
This is my great nephew Owen. He is one cool dude and a super hero. He calls me “guy” and refers to Ann as “guy’s girl friend.”
